Blackberries were growing out of the cowl vent! Minor body damage, aside from the boomeranged tailgate. Look for further episodes of this truck as we get it off the trailer, clean it up a bit and see if it'll run.

Redneck Restoration's "This Old Truck" 1985 Chevy Silverado Half Ton Project
This was supposed to be the first in the 85 Chevy Half ton series, but I
had a need to post the seat video first. Process is normally to start with
the mechanical and then the cosmetic, which I did, but this is video.
Anything can go anywhere!
Fairly informative about some do's and don'ts, though mostly don'ts. I
don't mind a lot of don'ts. That's how I get 'em cheap! This one gets core
plugs, (soft plugs, freeze plugs) Spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, air
filter and oil change. Valve cover gaskets and a romp down the road.
More to come!

1 of 3 75 Chevy half ton
It followed me home. Can I keep it? She told me it had been there since the
previous October. What she didn't tell me was that it was TOWED there and
hadn't run for 5 years. Had I known that, I woulda just taken the trailer
to start with and got it running at home. Probably get one more shoot out
of it before it becomes a parts unit.
